Nestled on the coast of Pacifica, Mori Point is 110 acres of coastal shrub, grassland and riparian plant communities that many endangered animals call home. Quarrying and off-road vehicle use have left this site heavily scarred, threatening the livelihood of the local animals and plant species. Help the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy transform this habitat into one where both animals and humans can co-exist and enjoy. Volunteers will help remove invasive plants and improve trails all while taking in the breath-taking view. After the project, all volunteers are invited to attend a guided trail walk. Friends and family are welcome and there is no age minimum to participate. To learn more about the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, visit http://www.parksconservancy.org.

Combine an educational field trip out into the bay and a habitat
restoration on Bair Island to start off your Saturday. For over 9
years, Save the Bay has provided middle and high school students with
the opportunity to learn about and help restore the local marshes and
greater San Francisco Bay estuary. Now you can be a part of the fun!
Home to the endangered California Clapper Rail, Peregrine Falcon, and
Salt Harvest Mouse, the removal of nonnative plants on Bair Island is
essential for the survival of these animals. Help remove ice plants and
other nonnative plants on the island and learn more about how to
prevent further erosion of the Baylands. Only 17 participants can
